KeyWack is a game for people with babies and small children who like to sit at their parent’s computer and bang the keyboard. KeyWack prevents babies from accidentally opening most programs or documents, and makes banging even more fun by drawing shapes and playing random sounds as the keys are whacked. You can also click with the mouse to place a shape at a particular location.

Optional toggles include:

Limit display to counting through numbers then letters to teach kids (Command-K on Macintosh or Control-K on Windows and Linux)
Turn the background screen to black to increase the contrast (Command-B on Macintosh or Control-B on Windows and Linux)
Rotation of letters & numbers (Command-R on Macintosh or Control-R on Windows and Linux)
Turn the Sound off (Command-S on Macintosh or Control-S on Windows and Linux)
Wipe the screen of images (Command-W on Macintosh or Control-W on Windows and Linux)
About Help (Command-A on Macintosh or Control-A on Windows and Linux)
To quit KeyWack type Command-Q on Macintosh or Control-K on Windows and Linux.


This KeyWack is based on the design of the original KeyWack by Paul Duffy. The file download contains versions for Macintosh (Universal Binary), Windows and Linux. Please try not too press the keyboard keys too fast or too hard.
